Good children should wash their hands.

Problem solved.

By the way, in Spanish the 3rd parson pronouns are gender-specific too, but
there is no need for a pronoun in that sentence. The person you're talking
about is kind of part of the verb, which isn't gender specific. However,
there is no gender-specific noun meaning "child", so you have the same
problem anyway! :D
